President Trump on Friday praised Rob Porter, the former staff who resigned this week amid allegations that he abused his two ex-wives.

"We wish him well, he worked very hard," Trump said of Porter during remarks in the Oval Office. "We found out about it recently and I was surprised by it, but we certainly wish him well, and it's obviously a tough time for him. He did a very good job when he was in the White House."
